About

This blog is written by Todd Christenson. He was raised in Nebraska and currently lives on Long Island in New York.

Though out my childhood, my family attended church. We prayed together at meals. I thought I was prepared for life.

After college, I moved to New York City. Shy, unsure of myself, building an identity in worldly things, increasingly prideful, self-righteousness, a controlling nature.

In 2013, God spoke through someone, suggesting I confess my sins. I did. I realized that every day, I’d been glorifying myself, not God.

Today, God’s teaching me to have my identity in Him, only, my dependency in Him, not myself, being who He wants be, not the world, loving Him first, loving others as myself.

Matthew 22:36-40 (NIV)
36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[a] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b] 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
